5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Jordi Savall's best concept albums,
By Aquinas "summa" (celestial heights, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isabel I, Reina de Castilla [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
This CD is like a soundtrack (and a thoughtful one at that) to a movie of the life of Isabel I. We are taken on a journey through the historical events taking place in her lifetime. The CD starts takes us from:
a beautiful anonymous piece: "Exultet Caelum laudibus", a jaunty Turkish tune (recognising the signficiant events of 1453 and the fall of Byzantium. This is important because the CD takes the islamic theme up again near the end with a beautiful lament for the expelled muslims showing a kind of symmetry; and finishing on a a beautiful requiem by Pedro de Escobar. In many ways this is an extrordinary album with its range of musical styles - Gregorian chant influenced music, sacred music for the mass and the most beautiful folk like tunes togehter with eastern inspired music. This all leads to a very moving experience! |
